Giant wasp poison and wreath of blades


Rules Questions


Giant Wasp Poison
Type poison, injury; Save Fortitude DC 18
Frequency 1/round for 6 rounds
Effect 1d2 Dex damage; Cure 1 save
with the +2 dc per poision attack and +3 rounds

Applying each of the 5 blades required for
Wreath of Blades (yes a magus using dex poison to drop touch ac)
Does it still count as only one poison dose just like the weapons specials or since the damage is increased every two levels does a result of one posion per d4 damage count for purposes of poison dc stacking and duration?

The blades that serve as the focus for this spell can be enchanted for greater effect. When all of the blades share the same enhancement bonus and special weapon qualities, a creature that is damaged by this spell is also treated as if hit by one of these weapons. For example, if a 12th-level magus casts this spell using four +1 frost mithral daggers as focus, the damage dealt by the blades would be 6d4+1 plus 1d6 cold damage, as long as the daggers were commanded to be sheathed in ice. No matter the modifications made to the focus weapons, they must always be mithral daggers. No other type of weapons can serve as a focus for this spell.
I am thinking it's one dose and can effect upto 5 targets until one dose is used then since its not on all blades it has a reducing chance to inflict; or simply doesn't infect past first hit but only requires one dose to bring them back to full for the next use.


i hate to bump this myself, but does anyone have at least an opinion or a house rule they use for this?


Poison is neither an enhancement nor a weapon quality, so RAW would be no joy for you.

If you had a stack of mithril daggers of venom, and none of the daggers had used the 1/day dose, then your wreath of blades would be able to deliver one dose of poison. As soon as one-of-these-blades-is-not-like-the-other, the poison effect would no longer trigger.

Abadar help us if you manage to find a cache of +1 conductive mithril daggers of spell storing. :)
